Presentaion

Idea-
PLOT
typical horror/black comedy - American
Typical cliques
popular
indie
intellectual
goths - dark makeup
new girl comes doesn't know which clique to fit into to
goes to the popular girls
fits in well slowly ends up having to kill them - 7 days each whenever she decides to kills them - making her way to the top
the girl popular clique will be wearing pink
Everything extremely stereotypical

INTRO
Few titles because will take away from the effects
Beginning two minutes bright colours - colour scheme will be pastels to contrast the blacks and reds by the end.
Dark background with a pink title - not quite horror but a dark comedy. Pink represents female clique.
Camera flashes in the intro everything happens fast
Non-diegetic music movinjg into diegetic - bringing the audience in summer 68 - pink floyd
shots of each clique, no shots of the school setting narrative enigma of where it is set.

Ideas from
Heathers
Jennifer's body
Pretty in pink

Both are dark comedy's with social cliques being represented.
Heathers - Gets a loner boyfriend makes friends with the 'heathers' gets used kills them off one by one
Jennifer's body - becomes a demon and ends up killing all the males in her social eye.
Pretty in pink - the first shot where you see the popular boy and the Molly Ringwald making eye contact you can feel the connection but then the Blondie girl comes and jumps on him - sowing the social cliques without showing the school - narrative enigma and showing how the American cliques don't mix.

not judge a book by its cover

Funeral then the typical girl group crossing off her death - get the idea thats the end of the opening

Pretty In Pink Titles

List of Pretty In pink Titles

Pretty in pink was Written, produced and directed by John Hughes. It was produced in 1986.

• As we are watching the opening scene of Pretty In Pink the first shot is the Production company; Paramount Pictures. This is the company ident. Shortly after this shot there is another shot presented stating 'Paramount Pictures Presents...'. Paramount pictures is a distribuiter.
• The second shot is a 'John Hughes Production'. The background is black with white writing.
• After these two ahve been introduced there is a long scene showing the audience the mise-en-scene. There is a vehicle whcih is driving away - tracking shot. This attracts your eyes to follow the vehicle, almost introducing the area.
• We can connote from what we see that the area isnt the richest. Due to the cracks in the streets and the small housing. We can also connote fromt he types of cars outside the houses the era that this film was set in. However we still havent met any of the characters. signifying not a rich area also.
• The music playing (which is diegetic) is happy and gives the impression that the flm is a teen comedy. This constrasts with the scenes we are viewing. We would connote fromt the scene alone that the film would be a drama. But the music is contrsting with this. It is a rom-com. 
• GRadually as we almost follow the vehicle the title is shown. Pretty In Pink.

• As you can see, it is not what you'd expect. You would be expecting fancy writing, possibly with some pink in the background. However the background is dull and with no pink. THe writing is dull and harsh. The look of the title is constrating with the words.
• After the title is presented 'Starring Molly Ringwald'. The word starring is usually used when there is a star involved. Molly Ringwald was presesnted first because she is the biggest star. Here is a list in order of who else and what roles were titled after 'Molly Ringwald':
